Future Teachers of America Programs Spark Interest in Future Career Planning to serve as teachers, FTA members en- joyed programs related to the preparation for their chosen career. Groups consisting of members of each class presented effective programs. Each group chose as its topic a phase of college lite. Miss Sarah Brennan spoke on the experiences of a student abroad in the Sophomore program. The juniors had Miss Lucille Gillespie speak to under- classmen on getting in college while Mrs. Martha Ryan, student teacher, gave tips on staying there. FTA members received first-hand knowledge of col- lege lite by visiting Richmond Professional Institute in the program planned by the seniors. Members reached the goal they set three years ago. They were able to present their first hundred dollar scholarship to the senior they felt would com- petently assume the role of a Future Teacher of America. Dr. Henry |. Willett speaks to the FTA of his trip to Russia and the teaching techniques used in their school system. Preparing for the Yuletide giving season, FTA President Emily Kahl and Jane Edwards dress dolls for needy children. 99
